Interesting to break it up like this, as a monster with many heads. Another interesting angle to break it up over would be why people cheat. Some do for their stream, including sandbagging beforehand. Some do so because their bruised ego requires fake wins. Another reason is to grief people, some cheaters simply enjoy the pain they cause in their opponent. Others cheat, because they feel there are too many cheaters. (in FPS gaming these are called "rage cheaters", who in a way punish the community by harming it). Another category would be political cheating, where you can see corrupt states manipulating players to cheat in a way to promote their flag and snag wins from geopolitical rival states.
So:
- Streaming scams
- Bruised Egos
- Griefers
- Ragers
- Politically motivated cheating
I think there are probably many more.
[edit:] My point being that these stem from different mindsets and may each require their own approach to mitigate. Also the different groups may cheat in different ways, allowing to discern them.
